Raising front end
My car has Eibach springs. The front is too low. Is there a happy medium between the factory springs and the Eibach springs (part number 2545.140? The outside dimension of the spacers currently in the car feel like the new ones that I just purchased from Mercedes. Without removing the springs from the car I have no idea whether or not the current and new spacers are identical. Any help is appreciated.

reply to ride height issue
Sorry i'm not computer savy enough to up load photos yet. The top of the tire is even with the bottom of the fender. There is a rub mark on the inside of the left fender well. So yes I have a rubbing problem and for my taste it is visually too low.

There are spring pads on top of the springs. They come in 5 sizes. Jack up the car, count the number of bumps on the side of the pad, and get thicker pads to suite the stance youd like. I dont know if these are the "spacers" you are talking about or now, guessing so since the dealer doesnt sell spacers, which are for getting the rims to poke out more. Too change the spring pads you will have to take the springs out however, but it really isnt difficult to take out the front springs.
